I posted about a burning smell sometimes when I walked by the front left wheel well after turning it off- I didn't notice a leak then but I was recently spraying my shock boots (getting it ready ahead of time) and I noticed a green/yellow fluid wettness from bottom of the sway bar. I did just do a coolant flush a month or so back so I know it's coolant by visual, maybe I didn't notice a leak before because of old coolant being a watered down brown like color. So I popped the hood and was looking around and feeling around. I grabbed the hose (rubber that loops below the battery and by the ac compressor) and radiator (it leads to a valve type connection by radiator cap) and it had a wettness. This hose goes from a hard to rubber line.
(It valve is middle right and Below my finger is the hose)
Maybe since I also just flushed the coolant the smell is more pronounced but after driving and walking by driver tire is was a burning rubber smell and when I noticed the wettness/leak to see color and smell (yellowish and sweet maybe)
